Celebrating the end of medical school included a festive event recently as the Class of 2010, family members, friends and faculty gathered for UC Davis School of Medicine’s annual awards banquet to honor graduating seniors and their instructors.

The event featured remarks by Claire Pomeroy, vice chancellor for human health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine, and Fred Meyers, executive associate dean.

“You are entering into the most wonderful profession in the world,” said Pomeroy in her introductory remarks to the students. “I speak for our entire faculty when I say how proud we are of your accomplishments and contributions.”

The dean kicked off the evening’s honors by handing out the first award to Laura Nally, selected by a special School of Medicine committee to receive this year’s Gabriel Smilkstein Humanitarian Award.
